We investigate the size- and composition-dependent ac magnetic permeability of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanocrystals for radio frequency (RF) applications. The nanocrystals are obtained through high-temperature decomposition synthesis, and their stoichiometry is determined by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Two sets of oxides are studied: (a) as-synthesized magnetite-rich and (b) aged maghemite nanocrystals. All nanocrystalline samples are confirmed to be in the superparamagnetic state at room temperature by SQUID magnetometry. Through the one-turn inductor method, the ac magnetic properties of the nanocrystalline oxides are characterized. In magnetite-rich iron oxide nanocrystals, size-dependent magnetic permeability is not observed, while maghemite iron oxide nanocrystals show clear size dependence. The inductance, resistance, and quality factor of hand-wound inductors with a superparamagnetic composite core are measured. The superparamagnetic nanocrystals are successfully embedded into hand-wound inductors to function as inductor cores.

While iron (Fe) is essential for life and plays important roles for almost all growth related processes, it can trigger cell death in both animals and plants. However, the underlying mechanisms for Fe-induced cell death in plants remain largely unknown. S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) has previously been reported to regulate nitric oxide homeostasis to prevent Fe-induced cell death within root meristems.

Arsenic contamination of water endangers the health of millions of people worldwide, affecting certain countries and regions with especial severity. Interest in the use of Fe-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) to remove inorganic arsenic species has increased due to their stability and adsorptive properties. In this study, the performance of a synthesized Nano-{Fe-BTC} MOF, containing iron oxide octahedral chains connected by trimesic acid linkers, in adsorbing As(III) and As(V) species was investigated and compared with commercial BasoliteF300 MOF.

Hypoxia, a phenomenon that occurs when the oxygen level in tissues is lower than average, is commonly observed in human solid tumors. For oncological treatment, the hypoxic environment often results in radioresistance and chemoresistance. In this study, a new multifunctional oxygen carrier, carboxymethyl hexanoyl chitosan (CHC) nanodroplets decorated with perfluorohexane (PFH) and superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanodroplets (SPIO@PFH-CHC), was developed and investigated.

This review highlights recent progress in utilizing iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) as a safer alternative to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It consolidates findings from multiple studies, discussing current T contrast agents (CAs), the synthesis techniques for IONPs, the theoretical principles for designing IONP-based MRI CAs, and the key factors that impact their T contrast efficacy, such as nanoparticle size, morphology, surface modifications, valence states, and oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, we summarize current strategies to achieve IONP-based responsive CAs, including self-assembly/disassembly and distance adjustment.

A novel Ru-FeO nanozyme with enhanced peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity was synthesized through a hydrothermal method. Ru-FeO nanozyme was effectively utilized for the detection of thiophanate-methyl (TM) using a colorimetric technique. The POD-like activity of Ru-FeO was found to be superior compared to FeO, Rh-FeO, and Pd-FeO.
